Hot off the presses: "Aunt Dimity: Vampire Hunter"

Lori Shepherd's tranquil life in the sweet English cottage of her now-deceased Aunt Dimity has never been truly free of apparitions: After all, her aunt's ghost has been there counseling her through 12 previous books in her cozy series. Now, though, the supernatural figure haunting her may be a vampire. Lori goes hunting the undead on a trek that includes investigating old Aldercot Hall and a murder there 40 years ago.

Despite the threat of a bloodsucking monster (or worse), Nancy Atherton keeps her lighthearted series charmingly entertaining and does not forget to include a recipe.
